in better spirits today

i am in better spirits todaytrying not to dwell on the past

i do wonder if the rejection feelsas bad every time a scrapper submitsto a call or if it is just that THIS timeit was my FIRST time and it was SO PERSONALMY message board - MY kit club - a placethat made me feel like FAMILY

so if you have been published or have been ona design team i would LOVE to hear from you????did you get a little sad when you got yourfirst NO ???? how did you feel when you got your2nd and 3rd -- how many times did you try beforeyou thought about GIVING UP and not submitting(not that i would ever quit scrapbooking - but whatif i submit to 100 calls and never get picked for anyof them) :0(

i just want to be realistic -- i have a certain NUMBERin mind - and i am thinking i will submit to that many callsand then if i am not picked for any of them i will just go backto being CONTENT with sharing my pages with my FAMILYIt sounds like a good plan ??? Right???

i think i have submitted 15 times to no avail but you know there are so many great scrappers out there. Submitting is just a fun part of it. it does not define you as a good or bad scrapbooker. the fit just wasn't right. no biggie. i say just keep on submitting, but dont create just to submit. create for your family and be true to yourself and your style and you will find the right fit. promise.

Oh girlie, I have only submitted once and didn't get any response at all. So I really think you should keep trying. Don't give up on TSR.. (as a family memeber we don't want you to leave us!) But I know your stuff and it is good. Please keep submitting. I will make you a deal if you do I will. And my stuff isn't as good as yours...
